Sandra Marlowe

BIOGRAPHY

From a shy kid growing up near the snowbound Canadian border to belting “old-time” gospel tunes at a little church on the Dakotan prairie; from white-knuckling through classical piano recitals and opera workshops in sunny California to schlepping gear and swingin’ tunes as the girl singer of bands around the country; from strutting the blues as the “mama” of suburban cabaret to soulful renditions of sacred song, Marlowe has arrived center stage at the zenith of her creative skills, with a jazz CD release getting national attention. Ms. Marlowe has appeared at festivals around the U.S., including The Great Connecticut Jazz Festival, Big Bear Lake Jazz Fest, and Sacramento Jazz Jubilee to name a few. In live performance, this world-class voice captures audiences from the opener, while a sharp wit, an engaging personality, and a penchant for peak experience draws her, the musicians and the audience together in both ear-teasing and heart-revving moments. Marlowe is also an educator, teaching vocal technique and performance through private practice and workshops/master classes.
